It would be interesting to see your dad&#39;s handwriting.<br />My father owned a house he rented and he kept a notebook of repairs and costs for those repairs. No one else in the family wanted them. I thought them a treasure -- and had forgotten about them until I read this post.<br />Thanks for the reminder and again for your post.<br />Nancy from My Ancestors and Me at www.nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.comNancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792182418688329417.post-13191140992883970162010-01-08T11:32:49.883-06:002010-01-08T11:32:49.883-06:00Seems I struck a positive nerve!

That happens to me, too. Maybe it is my age ;-) I gather, put back and forget about it until it is rediscovered...which is always such a gigantic pleasure!
